Preparing for Yangsi GyanaTa Rinpoche’s visit to the stupas Oct 2nd.

Lama Tharchin Rinpoche spoke about the Dorje Drolo Stupa, describing it as “a pilgrimage site for future generations to come.” He emphasized the stupa’s significance as a source of blessings for all beings and how it serves as a representation of wisdom and compassion that would continue to benefit people far into the future. It was a place of spiritual refuge where future generations could connect with the teachings of the Vajrayana and receive blessings through their faith and devotion. 📹Hand carved small stupas representing the Buddha's life…
